Idaho GOP governor wants to slash funds to preschool and head start
Governor Otter who was a ranch hand until he married the billionaire's daughter of J.R. Simplot.

He also wants to cut funding to the adolescent pregnancy fund and suicide prevention.

He wants smaller government. At www.spokesmanreview.com.

Idaho has a surplus and he wants it bigger. Guess who will pay the costs?

2. Otter was a winner in a tight jeans contest
and his excuse for a DUI was because he soaked his snuff in Whiskey. But if you are in Idaho, they will vote for anyone with a R next to their name. Even the Mormons do it.

It's a joke.

3. "They will vote for anyone with an R next to their name"
Butch Otter and Bill Sali are living proof of the truth in THAT statement!

5. Amen
Sali ran for government saying he suffered brain damage and it shouldn't be held against him. Just because he couldn't think straight. He actually got a sympathy vote.

4. What's wrong with those kids?
Can't they just pull themselves up by their bootstraps and go find their own billionaire's son or daughter to marry ?

6. I'm sure that's what Otter is thinking
If they had any smarts, they'd marry rich. But Otter's Simplot wife divorced him. He played a little too much.
